Despair

This is a song dying for lyrics! if you like what you hear and some fitting lyrics come to mind, get with me and let's collaborate and finish this song. I structured it for lyrics when I arranged it, but I can't sing and my brother (who wrote some of the guitar parts for this) says his voice isn't suited for this style of music :)

Remastered :)
I got so carried away throwing out a lyric lifeline I forgot to mention that I re-posted this song because I completely re-balanced the stems and remastered it with new knowledge in Logic Pro X. Let me know what you think of the mix.

Re: Preference
Thank you for the comment. You know, the more I listen to and work on this song, the more it sounds like a musical to me instead of a song missing lyrics. I still feel like something is missing, but maybe another guitar just adding another layer is what it needs.

David
This is a good piece of music. While I am no expert on these things, the mix seems good to me. I am not sure about whether the song "needs" lyrics or not. It seems to work fine on its own. Perhaps you can add a scorching guitar solo in the style of David Gilmour.

The bass is thick
and that was actually an EQ decision that I went back and forth on many times at the end. I ended up going with the heavy bass, especially out of that ridiculous kick drum and low tom, mostly because I was deliberately trying to get a raw and powerful feel. There's a pretty good chance if I come back to this song with lyrics or a nice lead guitar part that I will mix that version differently for better balance with the new part.

Thanks! Those toms are massive,
sometimes ridiculously so. I call the kit I used in this song my Bonham kit because it sounds like all the drums are 10 feet around. It is way too overpowering for lots of applications, but I thought it fit for this one. Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks Peter
This one has so much personal meaning since it's the first song I did with my brother and the first song that really got me serious about recording. I'm looking forward to watching it grow over time.

Hi, Dave Gilmour here
Not really. I'm happy this is working its way up the MJ "Chart" as it definitely has something. I think a combo of lyrics and lead guitar is what is needed here. And I know just the guy. (Yes, it's Hugo Furst, German singer/songwriter. Not really.) I'm working on it, but it would be cool to hear 2 or more versions of this with lyrics. Any takers?

Hi, I'm David and and in my spare time I'm a drummer with a growing interest in musical production. I'm in the Army and I move around a lot so I enjoy chances to collaborate with people in geographically uneffected ways. I'm married and have two ch... [see more]
